    On my toes - 5 good ones
    On my knees - about 30

    This is serious improvement considering I basically faceplanted the first time I tried (and that was on my knees)

    Using the knees, about 7 good ones, or 15 not so good ones...

    Without using the knees, maybe half of one. hahaha

    I just started working on upperbody strength. I don't have much..... :ohwell:

    About 70 or so at a guess - I was doing that '100 push up' programe, but had some upper back pain so was trying to eliminate possible causes where possible.

    I've done 20 standard in a row. I'm sure I could get in a couple more if I tried.

    50, maybe a few more.

    I'm doing the 100 pushup challenge right now its a 6 week program with the goal of being able to do 100 pushups at the end. Check it out at http://hundredpushups.com/

    I can do 12-15 men style push ups. I would be able to do more but my core gives out before my arms do. I need to build up my core.

    To be honest, I can only do 10 medicine ball push ups at a time...

    I have to admit that I am much better at cardio exercises such as Zumba or hip-hop dance...

    30 with my feet on a ball. I believe it working out as many muscles as once. The ball helps me work on my core as well. :)

    About 16 LOL. But I couldn't do any when I started lifting about 6 months ago, so yay I guess.

    8 one arm pushups with each arm.

    About 30 regular pushups. Been higher, but unless I specifically train high rep standard pushups my ability atrophies to about 25 or so, even if working higher resistance pressing exercises.

    I can do 10 "man push-ups" with reasonable form, without stopping. If I rest for 5 seconds I can do another 10 (For a totally of 20) but after that I do girl push-ups.

    I can do 20 "girl push-ups" or more depending on what else I've done in the workout.

    I used to be able to do a lot more of both in my kickboxing days :/

    About 20 or so. My wrist is messed up from sports and that usually is what makes me quit long before muscle failure.

    I'm up to 8. I've just started the 100 pushups in 6 weeks routine. And I do the girlie ones!
